Beautiful train and great photos. I just finished assembling a "City of Los Angeles" with 11K Line 18" cars, 2 Kline 15" (RPO & baggage storage), and one MTH 18" Premier Chicago and Northwestern passenger with UP livery. The consist is pulled by 4 MTH E-6 diesels (A-B-B-A) with the front "A" unit sporting the UP and CNW logos on the hood. I am probably as proud of mine as you are rightfully of yours.

Precision Scheduled Railroading at it's finest! PSR is furloughing lots of railroad employees and parking many locomotives.

The corporations and wealthy get wealthier, while everyone else takes it in the shorts.

I found a P&BR VO1000 shell on eBay recently. It was from an older MTH release from around 2003 I believe. The P&BR was a road owned by Bethlehem Steel and the line served the Sparrows Point Steel mill near Baltimore, Maryland.
The shell was almost complete for that early edition, but missing a...

I have a problem with a couple of Fastrack switches I can't seem to figure out, so I want to know if anybody has a similar problem. My layout is all Fastrack with O-36 curves and switches. I'm using Legacy control and a Powerhouse 180. The layout base is 3" thick foam insulation. The problem...

Just bought a nice clean 8759 from 1978. It runs fine, but I hear what can be described as a low hollow growling noise when going around curves. Is this normal? This is the type engine that has the traction tires on only one side.
